Time to build one of these bad boys :)
I’d rather destroy robots than kill humans in a fight for water.
A highly agile, deadly accurate, inexhaustable enemy with more strength and less vulnerabilities?
Bruh whaaaaaaat
We need to build our own robot army that’s open sourced and decentralized. Maybe it can all run on Linux lol
You think these things are running on Windows? Lol. I don’t think you could get a picture of them all standing at the same time if they were.
No. The GPLv2 is too restrictive the only way forward is THE GNU HURD
Tap
/s
The GPLv2 is not restrictive enough in terms of allowing bad actors to circumvent it with DRM.
Throw a bundle of thick rope on them. That will stop them in their tracks.
I will either be a veteran, or a casualty, of the Clanker Wars
“For The Republic!”
hm… must be the sequal of a game I played when I was in your age, where the end boss looked less threatening:
I’ll send a Chinese robot to fight your American robot
I recently learned to make traditional Balearic slings. I’m ready.
Given that it’s Boston Dynamics, these are likely to be cop bots, making the reality even WORSE than OP’s dystopian scenario 😬
Just go to Goodwill or other dirt cheap spots and load up on bed sheets. Toss over the top, voila, out of the game.
Joke’s on you – after you fight your way past the robots, you’ll find that they deliberately poisoned the water on the way out, just so you couldn’t have it.
I’ve yet to have anyone adequately explain how it’s not going to rain in the future…
Cooling plants can use runoff water, salt water… As long as we keep from polluting the fresh water too much it’ll continue to be there.
… Do you think it rains enough for everyone to have drinking water now?
Secondly, air pollution can render rain unhealthy to drink. Aggressive environmental regulation, the type that people are currently staunchly trying to remove, are what made it so everyone stopped talking about acid rain.
Thirdly, climate change alters the growth of plants. The growth of plants mediates soil conditions, and soil conditions control water evaporation, drainage, and where rain falls. For an example, consider the dust bowl.
Finally…
As long as we keep from polluting the fresh water too much it’ll continue to be there.
That’s exactly one of the major concerns!
We’ve been polluting ground water sources for a while, and there’s also a phenomenon where over pumping a ground water source can shift the water table and expose it to ground pollution that it was previously not exposed to.
